For this weeks TT challege I used a new stamp called "Penguin Sledding" available for purchase right now at S2G!! They have some amazing new Christmas stamps to get you in the mood and they also have some DIGI stamp downloads and DIGI paper downloads--you will def want to download them all!! For the "distressing" Twist I used some Tea distress ink on the "Holly" DIGI paper for the background...I never knew how easy it was to print off DIGI paper and use it for projects...It's my new favorite thing to do!! LOL... I used my snowflake punch to add some dimension and white glittery brads to match the glitter of the penguin...This sketch is simple yet elegant...I hope you all will get into the Christmas spirit with this challenge and play along with me and the other Ldies with Attitude...Thanks for stopping by and "cooling" off here at my blog!!
***As an added bonus...Shirely's 2 Girls is offering FREE SHIPPING for the entire month of July!! How great is that!!

4th of July

The 4th of July is almost here and I wanted to whip up some quick and easy 10 minute cards to send out to some family and friends for this Holiday....So today I thought that I would share with you what I came up with...I used the same stamps, punches, buttons, ink, designer paper, and twine for all three of these fun cards, just in different ways...I also wanted to come up with some cards that looked antique and worn...So I pulled out my tea distress ink and my distress tool and went to town lol...I used two different sized punches for the stars, a starburst punch for the firecracker, blue bottons from Stampin up for embellishing, twine, and a flourish stamp from a Stampin up Christmas set (I can't remember the name of it right now lol) to complete all three of these cards...It was that simple!!..Thanks for stopping by and I hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!! ***Don't forget to check back on Thursday for Shirley's 2 Girls Twisted Thursday challenge, you won't want to miss this one!! There are some new DIGI stamps being released as well as some new prizes and DIGI paper too...That's all I can tell you right now, it's hush hush lol...

For this weeks challenge I used an adorable new stamp called "Happy Birthday Dog"...This stamp is so versatile because it comes with 4 different sentiments that are all interchangeable...How cool is that!! This weeks "twist" is to use purple...I just love purple but I really just don't use it in cards much so this was a real challenge for me!! I decided to use purple for the base of this card and use some new DP that I got from Hobby Lobby...The buttons are from the dollar section at Joanns and I used my copic markers to color in the main image...Of course I had to add some sort of bling to this card, so I used my glitter pens to color in the balloons...I hope that you all have a chance to play along with me and the other Ladies with Attidue this week and thanks for stopping by!!
